HALKIDIS, Marianthi 'Mary' - Our family is saddened to announce the passing of Mary on July 1, 2021 at the Hellenic Home for the Aged at the age of 85.
Mary was a loving wife to Ilias, a devoted mother to Debbie and George, a caring mother-in-law to Gerry, and a proud grandmother (yiayia) to Nicholas, Stephanie, Marcus, Madalaine and Christopher.
Mary was born in Korinos, Katerini, Greece on March 24, 1936.
She came to Canada with her husband in 1964 where they settled with their young children in Toronto, Ontario.
Mary was a sweet, and jovial person that always had a smile on her face. She gave her time freely to all her loved ones.
Mary was an exceptional wife to her husband of 59 happy years, and they were inseparable during their time together.
She adored and doted over her 5 grandchildren and she welcomed every opportunity to be with them. Her face would light up every time she saw them and she showered them with kisses.
The viewing service will be held at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Thorncliffe Park Drive, Toronto at 1:00 pm. The funeral service will commence thereafter at 1:45 pm.
For close family members only, the burial service will take place at Pine Hills Cemetery, at 3:30 pm. Due to COVID restrictions, this is a private event by invitation only.
